The ocean around Baras Island is seriously so beautiful it's crazy lol. An island made of coral is just so emotional, and since the ferry ticket is included, Taipa is the best! You totally have to go lol.

First, we paddled deep into the mangrove forest by canoe and were overwhelmed by the sheer power of Mizuiro Falls. Next, we crossed over to Yubu Island on a swaying water buffalo cart and fully enjoyed the unspoiled scenery of Okinawa. However, paddling the canoe took quite a bit of physical effort, so it would have been perfect if there had been more frequent breaks.

User_mwwd / 20s Posted on: July 2026

Paddling a canoe toward the waterfall was pretty fun, I guess. I got to ride a water buffalo cart, too, so I’d say it was worth the price. It did take a bit of energy, though, lol.

User_mmxh / 20s Posted on: July 2026

Paddling a canoe toward Mui Lok Waterfall was so much fun, lol. The feeling of being surrounded by the wild mangrove forest was insane—it totally got me hyped! The water buffalo cart ride was also super relaxing, and Taipa is the best—you absolutely have to go, lol.

I took this tour during my last visit to Ishigaki Island, and this time I signed up again for the package that combines canyoning and sightseeing on Yubu Island. As always, the guide’s guidance was excellent, and I was able to fully enjoy the great outdoors of Iriomote Island. No matter how many times I come, it never disappoints.

User_solo / 50s Posted on: July 2026

I took this tour during my last visit to Iriomote Island, and this time I signed up for the package that included both Mizuochi Falls and Barasu Island. As always, the guide’s commentary was excellent, and I was able to fully enjoy the tranquility of the mangroves and the beauty of this “miracle island” to my heart’s content. No matter how many times I come, it never fails to live up to my expectations.
